I can't use this because there is some other stuff that is also in %
signs... The whole line is as thus:
$string = "a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?thing=do&id=%number%\">%some%
- %stuff% %if%%artist%?(%artist% Minutes):\"WAH!\"%if%</a>";

Advertising

So doing an explode on all the % signs would not work unfortunately.
Thanks,
Mike

Personally, I think Regex is (A) overkill and (B) over-complicated. But
I'm
not very smart. :-)
I would do:
<?php
$string = "%if%(%value%)?(%value%>Minutes):\"WAH!\"%if%";
$parts = explode('%', $string);
# That gets you pretty close:
# array(0=>if,1=>(,2=>value,3=>)?(,4=>value,5=>>Minutes):"WAH!",6=>if)
/*
I suspect that there are more %'s in your input, and you might be
"finished"
at this point...
If not, use explode some more:
*/
$minuteswah = $parts[5];
$minuteswah = explode('):', $minuteswah);
?>
Basically, a couple explode calls over the headache of trying to
understand
some convoluted Regex is always a "win" in my book. :-)
